I am 22, and I am an ally, although I would put myself on Jane’s Scale as Consang-Flexible(?) I believe she put it. I would be happy either way, as long as I was loved. I wholeheartedly believe that love is love is love and as long as there’s consent, consanguineous relationships are as valid as any other.

Welcome to KS The scale is intended to classify people according to how consanguinamorous someone actually is, much like the gay - bi - straight scale that most people are familiar with. Ultimately it shouldn't matter as long as you're loved, but we're unfortunately having to fight bigotry and hate in order for people to understand that it shouldn't matter. It is interesting for people to know where they are on the scale and how it is likely to impact their lives. As a full consang who has tried a few regular relationships, I'd say that the scale is important in terms of saving people the same kind of problems I've had in my life. After 100% embracing my sexuality for what it is and having no negative feeling about it, and not trying to be something I am not, I am happier as a single unattached consang than I ever was pretending to be regular.
